Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sporting clubs and communities, without them there would be no teams coached, matches played, pitches prepared, sandwiches made, trips organised, races run or courts kept in condition.

The Federation of Irish Sport hosts the Volunteers in Sport Awards as a unique celebration to honour and recognise individuals who are part of the wider volunteering community involved in sport, who give freely of their time, skills and efforts in a variety of ways through the structure of sports clubs and/or community organisations in Ireland.
